Question
The cylindrical coordinate robot on a factory's assembly line is shown in a top view. A force of 65 N acts on a workpiece being held at the end of the robot's arm. The goal is to express the 65 N force as a vector in terms of unit vectors \( \mathbf{i} \) and \( \mathbf{j} \), which are aligned with the \( x \)- and \( y \)-axes.

### Diagram Explanation

In the diagram:

- The robot arm is positioned at a 30° angle from the positive x-axis.
- The force vector \( \mathbf{F} \) is applied at a 70° angle from the robot arm.

### Vector Representation

To express the force vector \( \mathbf{F} \) using \( \mathbf{i} \) and \( \mathbf{j} \), it requires resolving the force into its x and y components:

- The x-component (\( F_x \)) of the force can be calculated with:
  \[
  F_x = 65 \cos(30° + 70°)
  \]

- The y-component (\( F_y \)) of the force can be calculated with:
  \[
  F_y = 65 \sin(30° + 70°)
  \]

### Expression

Express your answer as a vector using the unit vectors \( \mathbf{i} \) and \( \mathbf{j} \).

\[
F = \underline{\hspace{1cm}} \mathbf{i} + \underline{\hspace{1cm}} \mathbf{j} \text{ N}
\]

(Make sure to express your answer using three significant figures.)
